Title:
ELECTRICITY MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND ELECTRICITY MANAGEMENT METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/086865
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present application relates to an electricity management apparatus and an electricity management method. An electricity management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application comprises: a communication unit for receiving electricity information through a smart grid electricity information network, or transmitting electricity management information on an electronic device connected to a network through an internal network; a reference value setting unit for setting a total area, and setting a maximum allowable electricity reference value and an inspection electricity reference value corresponding to the set total area; and a controller for performing controlling to determine a management mode for each electronic device connected to the internal network, in consideration of an electricity proportional value comparing a current accumulated used electricity value to the set maximum allowable electricity reference value and an interval proportional value comparing a current time to a certain time, when a current inspection used electricity value exceeds the set inspection electricity reference value, and to transmit the electricity management information corresponding to the determined management mode. Through various embodiments disclosed by the present application, efficient electricity management for various electronic devices is made possible. Also, the most suitable electricity management mode at the current time can be determined and implemented. Further, when the management of electricity is made possible through various embodiments disclosed by the present application to within a range that does not exceed an initially set maximum allowable reference value, for example, when a user simply sets an allowable maximum electricity fee, thereafter, the management of electricity for internal electronic devices is made possible so that the set maximum allowable electricity fee is not exceeded.
